Paul Sparvoli, president ofNational Free Hunting Association, issued a statement to talk about environmentalists. Here are his words: “After the periodic broadsides of that kind of fake public service that is Rai, now the "dear" Legambiente is back in charge, through the mouth of one of its representatives from the Abruzzo Region, the agricultural technician Luzio Nelli. This very kind gentleman with a plump and apparently peaceful face, shoots at zero on the hunters blaming them for being the main cause of the extraordinary and worrying proliferation of wild boars and hoping that they will be excluded from any form of control of these wild animals, especially if carried out through the traditional hunting tool of the hunt.
"Selecontrollo - says Mr. Nelli - or alternatively captures with cages, but no hunted"! And good, and then, once captured (with a disproportionate expenditure of human and economic resources), what do we do? Do we take them for a walk around Italy? The speech of the environmental manager apparently does not make a turn: decades ago the wild boars were released for hunting purposes and now here are the results. Too bad, however, that the good technician forgets that, for example, also the otters have been released and released by some animal rights activists. Or that magpies and crows, which by now have inexorably devastated the biodiversity of woods and hills, have not been released by hunters but have exploited the poor management of too many protected areas.
Now these so-called oases have turned into desolate deserts where, in fact, they and the wild boars proliferate which by now, from their comfortable dormitories, penetrate daily to the center of large cities such as Rome and Genoa. This is the environmentalism we deserve, based solely and exclusively on a visceral hatred of hunting and hunters who in almost all European nations are instead considered to be the main and indispensable players of a correct global management of environmental problems. By the way, isn't Legambiente that association that some well-meaning (or naive, or something else) sisters continue to consider “enlightened” and “friend of hunters? It doesn't seem like it to us! ”.
